Arcade Fire

The very essentials
Arcade Fire is an art-y rock/pop band from Montreal, Canada. The band consists currently of six core members. The married couple and the heart of Arcade Fire, Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, write the vast majority of the songs – which then comes to life with the help of the others in the band. The others being Will Butler (Win Butler’s younger brother), Richard Reed Parry, Tim Kingsbury, and Jeremy Gara. All playing multiple instruments. Sarah Neufeld was a core member up until the Reflektor album/tour cycle. Remains to be seen if she will be more involved with the next album cycle, or continue as a touring musician. In either case she will still be an integral part of the band.
